Skateboarders shot, suspected of trying to steal beer

Two skateboarders suspected of trying to steal beer from a store are expected to survive being shot by an officer who confronted them Thursday.

The suspects, a 24-year-old and a 21-year-old, were not armed.

But an Olympia, Washington, police official said an officer has the right to self-defense if a suspect wields an object that could be used as a deadly weapon.
